Joel Rosen takes delivery of the first new Motion Camaro

Joel Rosen, he of Baldwin-Motion fame, took delivery of the first of the new Motion Camaros that bear his name last weekend in Florida, the car’s builder, Howard Tanner of Redline Motorsports in Schenectady, New York, told us.

The car is a Motion Phase III 427 SC rated at 800hp, courtesy of a supercharged and modified LS7 engine. It also sports every chassis modification offered on the new line of Motion Camaros.

The Synergy Green and gold paint scheme was selected by Rosen for the car. The base green is a factory Camaro color, and the stripes were applied at Caprara’s Auto Body Shop in Troy, New York, near Hemmings HQ.

The car was on display during a Chevy-specific event at Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida last weekend, and Tanner said it drew a lot of attention and nice comments. “People were going nuts,” he said. “We ran into a lot of Motion enthusiasts and they appreciated it too.”

Tanner said that Rosen was also enthusiastic about the car and has asked for a second Motion Camaro – a more mellow convertible, in yellow with an automatic transmission.

i’ve yet to see one of those new camaros that don’t appear to be “panel painted”. the quarters are always a tick off from the rest of the car. you would think it was just reflections but if you walk around the car and view it from different angles it is still off. every time we see one of these at a cruise in or show car guys always comment on this, what gives. we were thinkin that part is painted by gm and the other end painted by the the government as part of the bailout deal????????????????

Wow…. not only can’t you make something beautiful out of a TURD no matter how you dress it up it’s still a TURD!!!!! GM couldn’t make a decent looking vehicle if there jobs depended on it!!!!!!! Mustang and Challenger are the only muscle cars produced today!!! No wonder why FORD has been #1 for the last 35 years and STILL going!!!!!!!
